Welcome to the new iBOL Lepidoptera website!

November 5th, 2009 - Categories: Uncategorized

Dear All,

Welcome to the new website for the iBOL Lepidoptera campaign and its taxonomic and geographic sub-campaigns.

To quote our webmaster, there’s plenty of Easter eggs to discover here… and we’ll keep developing it with new sub-campaigns, posting of updates, sample requests, wanting lists, etc.

Please allow us for a couple of weeks of testing and improvement, in particular for the progress reports based on current sampling on BOLD and for the taxonomic checklists which still need to be updated with the newly assembled ones.

Comments are of course welcome!

We hope you will enjoy this site!
